The most important thing for an english tutor to incorporate into their lessons is personalisation. Tailoring the lesson or what they are teaching to best aid the student in areas of weakness. This personalised content will resonate most with the student and also make the lessons more engaging. My strengths as a tutor are my speaking skills. I…

The most important thing an english tutor can do for a student is to understand the needs of their student and develop effective resources that work for THAT student. It is also important to recognise what kind of work load people are capable of handling so that you do not overwhelm them with tasks, as this would be counterproductive. So I guess,…

A tutor needs to be their every week and ontime. A tutor must plan lessons that meet the needs and goals of the student. A tutor must be able to assess the strengths and weaknesses of a student and plan the lesson and the program so the student can meet the learning needs of the student. Knowing the student. Assessing strengths and weaknesses…

Inside OurimbahTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 6 student Naplan focused on numeracy skills, including practice with decimal addition and operations involving fractions.

For Year 8, Liv tackled index laws such as multiplying and dividing powers—including the zero index law—and worked through powers of fractions for deeper understanding.

In Year 9, Chloe revised formulae for speed, distance and time, and addressed specific questions from her upcoming equations test to strengthen problem-solving confidence.

Recent Challenges

A Year 9 student frequently left module work incomplete before sessions, leading to missed opportunities for targeted revision—"he must ensure he is doing his work and understanding it so I can quiz him on it."

In Year 11 maths, over-reliance on calculators became apparent during mental maths tasks, with hesitation when questions couldn't be solved digitally.

Meanwhile, a Year 5 student often arrived late or with uncharged devices, losing valuable lesson time and momentum.

For one senior English student, feedback on essays was limited because not enough written material was submitted for review.

When technical issues or organization faltered, learning slowed noticeably.

Recent Achievements

One Ourimbah tutor noticed a big shift with Liv, a high school student who initially relied on intuition for tricky index laws; after some encouragement, she took time to unpack the formal rules and ended up acing questions that used to trip her up.

Another high schooler, Frankie, used to stay quiet when stuck but now talks through her working and immediately asks for help if unsure—a change from guessing in silence during earlier sessions.

Meanwhile, primary student Anureet struggled with 11 times tables above 10x11, but after learning a simple trick was able to answer them correctly when tested.

What they say about our tutoring

Thanks for following up.  Daniel has been fantastic and we appreciate his diligence.

The tutoring is going great! Brody really enjoys his time with Daryl and his grade has improved greatly. He got an A on his assessment today and the last time he spoke with his teacher his grade had increased from a D to a C.

Andrew had his last week with Cameron this Saturday, Cameron has been an excellent tutor, he is very tuned in to maths specialist, and has helped Andrew greatly in his learning.

English tutoring in Ourimbah

Every student needs help sometimes, and often that help is needed in English. From basics like punctuation, spelling and grammar right up to narrative writing, proof reading and literary analysis. The Australian curriculum is thorough and there are various challenges that pop up for students over the years. At some point most students could use some help and an English tutor does just that - help! Ideally that help comes before the student has formed a negative cycle or fallen into a no-effort habit.

What we do is facilitate that help as a home service, we'll organise an in-home English tutor in Ourimbah, or wherever it is convenient for you.

English Tutor Ourimbah

A local Ourimbah English tutor will come to you at a time and day of your chosing and offer tutoring help in a manner tailored for your child's unique situation. The first lesson works as a trial so that if your child doesn't connect well with the tutor, you don't have to pay and we can organise someone else for you.

The terms of service are super simple too. No contracts or minimum hours or cancellation fees or anything like that. You get charged a simple hourly rate. That's it. 

Give us a try, it's a risk-free proposal. 1300 975 754

Local Spots for Tutoring

If you'd prefer not to have lessons at home, tutoring can also take place at a local library—such as Tuggerah Library—or at your child's school (with permission), like Ourimbah Public School.
